A PELICAN INTRODUCTION : GREEK AND ROMAN POLITICAL IDEAS PB – MELISSA LANE

Where do our ideas about politics come from? What can we learn from the Greeks and Romans? How should we exercise power? Melissa Lane teaches politics at Princeton University, and previously taught political thought at the University of Cambridge, where she was a Fellow of King s College. She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship in the field of classics, and the historian Richard Tuck called her book Eco-Republic a virtuoso performance by one of our best scholars of ancient philosophy.
